Pinal County Sheriff: MEXICAN (Not Mexican-American) Drug Cartels Now Control Parts Of Arizona

CASA GRANDE, AZ - Two men shot earlier this week could be the result of the ongoing battle between Mexican drug cartels now spilling over deep into Arizona, officials say.

Pinal County investigators say an area known as the smuggling corridor now stretches from Mexico's border to metro Phoenix.

The area , once an area for family hiking and off road vehicles has government signs warning residents of the drug and human smugglers.

Night vision cameras have photographed military armed cartel members delivering drugs to vehicles along Highway 8.

"We are three counties deep. How is it that you see pictures like these, not American with semi and fully automatic rifles. How is that okay?" asked Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.

Babeu said he no longer has control over parts of his county.

"We are outgunned, we are out manned and we don't have the resources here locally to fight this," he said at a Friday news conference.


Five weeks ago Deputy Louie Puroll was ambushed and shot as he tracked six drug smugglers.
Sheriff Babeu said the ambush mirrored military tactics.

Even more disturbing, Babeu said the man who called in to 911 operators for help seemed to know a lot about the sheriff deputy's case.

"He told operators they could find him where the deputy was shot and talked about our search helicopter. Things that were talked about on the news," Babeu said.

When operators asked the fatally wounded man how he knew the area, he claimed he sold cantelope near mile post 150.

Both men were found dead several hours later.

Detectives say next to them was a Bushmaster automatic rifle used by police officers for patrolling. It does not appear to be stolen.

Investigators also revealed that an autopsy showed strap marks on one of the men that likely came from hauling heavy loads, they suspect were drugs.

One of the men, deputies say, was voluntarily deported seven times.

Babeu said he doesn't believe the drug cartel problems will not be solved when SB 1070 becomes a law, or with President Obama's promise of 1,200 troops spread out among four border states.

"It will fall short. What is truly needed in 3,000 soldiers for Arizona alone," Babeu said.

COMMENT:

The Pinal County sheriff himself actually admits to being out gunned! What in the world is Obama waiting for? We desperately need troops on the border. This is an invasion, plain and simple. The only difference is it is an invasion of organised crime, rather than of political conquest. But the results are the same. American citizens are being driven off of their own land!

The government is not taking action for many reasons. Firstly, since it is Mexican organised crime, the Democraps are concerned about alienating the fastest growing voting block - Latinos (which are mostly Democrapic). But more importantly, I think they want this situation to continue to escalate. Then, when things reach a certain point, they'll have the excuse to impose tighter restrictions on Americans, in order to 'keep us safe'. As most Americans are cowards and will gladly trade their freedom for safety, the government's plans will probably work.

The only solution is, if the government won't protect us, we must do it ourselves. The Minutemen are a good start, but I think what we need is a People's Militia and drive these invading criminal scum south of the border where they belong.

Now as you know, I have a very low opinion of the NSM, but they were down in Arizona in support of their new laws. In this case, they did the right thing.

The Federal government is planning to challenge Arizona's new laws. If they succeed, every NS and WN organisation, including Aryan Nations needs to stand in support of Arizona, which includes sending representatives there. If the Feds prevail, I'll be going.
